It's just like the Nvidia > OpenAI > Oracle triangle, but all on a single balance sheet. Hey, that's efficiency!

$200/month will get you a Claude max x20 subscription, allowing practically unlimited opus usage, and pretty hefty Fable usage too.

And this limit was per week. So they're pretty much just enforcing that people use subscriptions instead of on-demand billing.

sanitation — within a month, devs will be on personal accounts or finding free tier alternatives. Not because they're circumventing policy, but because the cap makes their actual work harder. We capped AWS per-team and people started using the free tier, which was slower, which meant longer dev cycles, which killed more time than the savings. Cost control that makes core work slower isn't control, it's just tax. Better: measure what actually ships faster vs. slower per tool and let that inform spend.
